Does anyone know if:

Fretingne is riding a 2WD Yamaha this year? Now that htey are all limited to 450cc he'd have a good chance....

Yes and I do not know.  He is listed as participating on a Yamaha 450 WRF.  is it the 2wd?? it does not say.

[coachgeo]

in the Prelude video they mentioned once 2wd saying it was converted back to one wheel.

[Bixxer Bob]

Said last night in the Eurosport commentary that the 450 is light enough not to need it so is running rear wheel only.

Go Jonah!

Edit:  Currently 11th.

It's Annie Seel's 525EXC KTM aka SUPER ROCKET

Thanks Mustang, I notice the 690s are running a restrictor this year too, interesting considering they were going to be banned.

Good to see a BMW up there too.

[coachgeo]

listening to one of the videos not ALL 690's are restricted.  Only the "elite" as described by the announcer.  Guy who came in 5th today/Stage II  (or is ranked 5th over all by end of today; forget which) is running unrestricted.

Dakar coverage has been very sad.  

No free streaming that I can find anywhere.  

Best seems to be an Australian web site for all of it. It is there to keep track of Australian participants but they have video and news of all but buggies and ATV's.   For Motorcycle another place is Ultimatemotoryceling.  Neither live.

Well I feel stupid for not looking but now that I know; I'll share.

There is a great thread on the happens of the Bikes in the Dakar 2010 at AdvRiders.  Be warned!! IT's LONG. 92 pages in three days!!! WOW.

I guess even if a biker in the Dakar farted these guys at Advriders found out and discussed it.  :D
